Yesterday, we showed you some coverage of the borough of Cresskill's efforts to curb traffic around its downtown area. Borough officials are considering putting a cap on drive-thru windows, claiming that the long lines of idling cars are clogging parking lots.

My town does not allow drive-thrus, and neither do most surrounding towns. Guess what? We drive several towns away to go through a drive through. Towns which do this have NO idea how helpful a drive-thru window is to parents or anyone in a hurry.

I can see not having them in certain areas, but just zone the town that way. There is a very main state road going through our town, and it is completely ludicrous that they don't allow a drive-through on the road.

A way to avoid extra congestion is to force drive-through users to exit onto a side street. But these towns are seriously shooting themselves in the foot to try to cut them completely.

I fully support the town in this regard, just as I support Point Pleasant in their efforts to close the bars early. Towns not only have a right, but an obligation to uphold the quality of life within their boundaries. Cresskill residents pay unfathomable property taxes, and retain the right to say "no" when the quality of life is threatened or diminished.
